About the Book

Living in an old, unheated T25 campervan for fourteen months, including the coldest winter for thirty years, Jonathan Bennett travelled clockwise round Britain, surfing every beach he could catch a wave. From the Isle of Harris to the Lizard Peninsula, from Orkney to Anglesey, from Sandwood Bay to Sussex, he shared the waves with seals, sewage and fellow surfers, meeting friendly and not-so-friendly locals, often alone and miles from civilisation. Without going near a campsite, he slept with the sound of the waves whispering in his ears.

About the Author :
Jonathan Bennett is a freelance writer and translator. His screen credits include the noir thriller Dark Bridge and several episodes of BBC1 drama Doctors. His travel writing has appeared in The Guardian, The Independent and Time Out. He also writes audio guides for museums, castles and other damp venues.

Review :
'A warm and honest account of the cold, wet challenges of the surfers' path.'-Chris Nelson; 'Fun account of the author's attempt to surf every beach of Britain's coast. Wittily written book on an under-represented by popular sport.'-The Bookseller; 'You can almost feel the salt on your face and the wind in your hair when you read Jonathan Bennett's Around the Coast in Eighty Waves, a campervan adventure taking in some of Britain's best surfing beaches. He visits destinations as far flung as the Isle of Harris, the Gower coast and Porthleven. If you're looking for inspiration on where to next to ride the waves, this is it. '-Coast Magazine, Book of the month; 'His entertaining book account of his journey, including many Scottish highlights, reveals encounters with wildlife, other surfers and local people. '-Fiona Outdoors for the Sunday Mail; 'Like Orkney surf scribe David C Flanagan's book Board, published last year, one of Bennett's great strengths is his disarming honesty - when he's scared, he says so; when he's struggling, he admits as much. Elite surfers may look down their noses when reading about some of Bennett's less-than-glorious sessions, but average surfers - and that's most of us - will empathise with much of what he has to say.'-The Scotsman
